to the Air Force Civilian Announcement Notification System (CANS). If you want CANS to automatically notify you via e-mail when specific job opportunities are available, create a subscription profile for yourself that describes those specific job opportunities and locations.
Your subscription profile should contain several combinations of occupational series, pay plan, grade, and geographic locations. When a job opportunity is announced that matches your profile criteria, an e-mail is sent to your e-mail address with the job announcement number, position title, occupational series, pay plan, grade, location, and the hyperlink of where you may view the specific job announcement.
If you are creating a new subscription profile, you will receive an e-mail within 24 hours only if your profile criteria matches any existing job announcements. Thereafter, you will receive an e-mail if your profile criteria matches any new job announcements when they are opened.
After you have created your subscription profile, you may re-enter the Air Force Civilian Announcement Notification System at any time using the same e-mail address(es), and view your profile and make any changes, as required.
If you do not have any matches for 30 days, CANS will send you an e-mail notifying you that your subscription profile is still current.
When you create your subscription profile or make any changes to it, the expiration date for your profile is 180 days from that day. Ten days before your subscription expires, CANS will send you an e-mail notifying you of the date that your subscription will expire. If you do not renew it, your subscription will automatically expire on that date. You may extend your subscription by entering CANS, then click on the extend subscription link. This will reset your expiration date to 180 days from that day.
